Checking the "timeout" property is actually a better way of confirming
the heartbeat interval:

rabbitmqctl list_connections name timeout

You should get output that looks similar to this (except for port numbers):

Listing connections ...
127.0.0.1:49323 -> 127.0.0.1:5672	10
...done.

Can you confirm what output you are seeing from this command?

So you are saying the connection is *not* dropping? What evidence are
you basing this on?
